Abstract

Currently, wind tunnel pressure tests are commonly used to study the wind load characteristics of photovoltaic structures, by reducing the aspect ratio of the photovoltaic panels to meet the testing requirements. This study investigates the influence of model width/thickness ratio on the wind pressure resistance test results of rigid models of photovoltaic panels. The results indicate that the smaller the width-to-thickness ratio, the greater the impact on the test results, with the leeward side having a greater influence than the windward side. The influence of the model width/thickness ratio on the test results decreases with increasing tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel. The width and thickness ratio of the model have a significant impact on the measured wind pressure values, but a minor impact on wind pressure variations.
